Quote from: Zanza on March 26, 2024, 10:41:29 PMOf course labour law and a plethora of regulations or industry-wide collective bargaining will limit what you can actually put into an employment contract, but contract law itself is very free. Maybe different in other jurisdictions.Having worked with German lawyers on commercial contracts I have very serious doubts about whether contract law is very free

What about that big plume of smoke inbetween the blackouts? Could that indicate an emergency reverse?
That's quite possible, though I thought it indicative of the failure of the main engines and the lighting-off of the emergency diesel generator (which apparently never came on-line enough to provide power to the rudder). The pilot did order the anchor dropped, so there was emergency action taken. It was just too late.
So, apparently the main diesel engine failed and then the emergency generator failed. My guess at this point is some kind of fuel contamination. I don't see any other immediately-obvious way for both diesel systems to go down at the same time.
Quote from: The Brain on March 27, 2024, 02:10:13 AMYou sometimes see protective arrangements around bridges to keep an errant ship from striking an actual pillar. What determines if you put those in place? I wouldn't have been surprised if this major bridge near a major port had been protected like that, but I can also see a number of possible reasons for not doing it.
